Question

There are 8 crackers in 1 serving, 16 crackers in 2 servings, 24 crackers in 3 servings, and so on. How many crackers are in a box of 12 servings?

Answer 1

1 serving = 8 crackers (1 x 8 = 8)

2 servings = 16 crackers (2 x 8 = 16)

3 servings = 24 crackers (3 x 8 = 24)

12 servings = ? crackers

12 x 8 = 96

The answer is 96 crackers

Answer 2

Using the pattern shown, each serving contains 8 crackers. In order to find the number of crackers in 12 servings, you will multiply the number of crackers in one serving, 8
, by the number of servings in the box. So, 8 times 12 equals 96, therefore there are 96 crackers in a box.
